  • Pet Food Making Process
    Publication number: 20130243913
    Abstract: This invention pertains to making pet food; more specifically, it involves making pet chews or jerky from either one, or a combination of: poultry, meat, rabbit, fish, pork skin, beef skin, rabbit skin, or fish skin. The ingredients can then be cut into pieces or cubes, minced into paste, or molded into shapes; then frozen; followed by a process of vacuum microwave drying; sterilization; then packaging. The final product presents the same color and often a strong fragrance of the original ingredients. This process protects both the nutrition of the original ingredients and its appetizing characteristics. Among other things, it could be a meaty pet snack, or it could be used as a nutrition supplement for your pet after proper rehydration.

  • In situ extraction of hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon-containing materials
    Patent number: 8522876
    Abstract: Hydrocarbon-containing organic matter is extracted from a hydrocarbon-containing material that is a viscous liquid, liquid or gaseous fossil fuel material. A turpentine liquid is contacted with a hydrocarbon-containing material in-situ in an underground formation containing the fossil fuel material to form an extraction mixture so as to extract hydrocarbon-containing organic matter into the turpentine liquid and form an extraction liquid. The extraction liquid is removed from the formation, the extraction liquid including the turpentine liquid containing the extracted hydrocarbon-containing organic matter. The extracted hydrocarbon-containing organic matter is separated from a residual material not extracted.

  • Ramped, variable power UV adhesive cure process for improved alignment
    Patent number: 8486214
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for adhering optoelectronic components in optical, electronic or optoelectronic devices are disclosed. A UV-active adhesive is applied to an alignment sensitive component of the device. A first, relatively low dose of UV radiation sufficient to solidify an outer layer of the adhesive is applied to the adhesive. A second, relatively high dose of UV radiation sufficient to solidify the remaining thickness of the adhesive is then applied. The methods and apparatuses of the present invention advantageously reduce or eliminate changes in the position of a component during the adhesive curing process. The present method and apparatus allow for shorter total time for solidifying the adhesive, provide stable positioning during the adhesive solidification process, and enable increased manufacturing output and decreased waste.

  • Light distribution apparatus for cultivation of phytoplankton and other autotrophic aquatic species in an aquatic medium
    Patent number: 8479441
    Abstract: An apparatus for cultivation of phytoplankton and other autotrophic aquatic species in an aquatic medium in one embodiment comprises a plurality of liquid-impermeable transparent baffles, each forming an elongated trough-like enclosure, depending from a transparent top chamber, each baffle in communication with the top chamber, and two end walls for enclosing the top chamber and baffles. Introduction of water into the baffles sinks the apparatus in the liquid medium to the top of the baffles, leaving the top chamber above the surface of the medium. Light to which the top panel is exposed passes through the top chamber, the water in the baffles, and the baffles to encourage growth of selected microscopic organisms in the surrounding medium.
